weather brought out large crowd to-day
at the Louisville base bali park to witness

The contest was ''nip and tuck'' through

ninth inning. Hard hitting and brilliant
base running were the features rather than
fielding, though the latter at times was
sharp and superb. Sunday, Ryan, Anson

distinguished themselves, the first three by
their heavy batting and the last by his
plucky work behind the bat during the
latter part of the game. Bushong, Robin
son, ONeill and Welch did brilliant work
for the st. Louis club. Comiskey won the
toss, selecting the association ball and Nc

4 RAILROAD WAR.

The Pennsylvania and b s. 0. Fighting for
Right of Way
PHILADELPHIA, April IL. About fifty
men in the employ of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad were engaged about o'clock
this morning in laying track crossings at
Twenty-ffth, Twenty-ninth and Wolf
streets for the Delaware river extension Of
the road, when they were interrupted by a
large force of Pennsylvania railroad men.
The latter's force consisted of 250 men and
eight locomotives. Four of the locomo-
tives were jumped from the Pennsylvania
tracks at Twenty-fifth street, where the
Baltimore & Ohio men were
at work, completely obstructing
their operations. The Pennsylvania men
then began to tear up the track that had
been laid and after struggle with the op-
position force were about two hours in
doing So The Baltimore & Ohio men
made their crossings at Iwenty-ninth and
Wolf streets, but gave up the contest at
Twenty-fifth street, and about O'Clock
there was cessation of hostilities and all
hands withdrew. A large force Of police
was early on the scene and it is believed
that their presence alone prevented a ser
ious conflict. The supreme court decided
that the Baltimore & Ohio railroad had
legal right to cross the Pennsylvania road

BOLD FREEBOOTERS,

The Pan Handle Robbers Take Everything
But the Company's Watered Stock.
PITTsBURG, April 13.-As time pro-
crosses, most positive and confirmatory
evidences accumulate showing that pecu-
lations on the Pan Handle road have been
far in excess of what has been reported by
the officials. This afternoon it came to
light that car was lifted Sunday week
ago between this city and Dennison, not a
Single article of value being left behind
This bold move on the part of the railroad
freebooters brought them booty valued at
$1,000. 1t has been stated by parties in the
American Detective bureau in this city
that the stolen goods stored in the rear Of
Mr.. GllkesOn's private Office contains $780,
600 worth of valuables. John Hampton,
who has been attending to the legal end of
the case, says: "Had the counsel and off,
GERS of the Pan Handle road desired to ar
rest all Of the employees of the road directly
or indirectly connected with the robberies,
it would have been necessary to stop the
operation of the road"

THE GREAT TRIAL.
The Entire Day Taken Up by Counsel for
the Defense.

The Entire Day Taken Up by Counsel for
the Defense.
Sioux CITY, April 12.-The entire day
was occupied in the Haddock murder trial
by Judge Weaver, of the counsel for the
defense, in pleading to the jury. He re-
viewed with great weight the theory of
reasonable doubt in connection with
Arensdorf's guilt, and claimed for the de-
fendant a complete exemption according to
the evidence. Arensdorf's career as citi-
zen and business man generally was
brought forth with great prominence, and
the skill of the lawyer was used with equal
vehemence and power in contrasting the
drunken life of the worthless Bismarck
and the villain Leavitt. He claimed that
the prepoDderance of evidence was in favor
OF the guilt of Leavitt as the assassin and
that the state failed to show Arensdorf's
connection at the scene of the murder or
his tacit or personal assistance in the con-
spiracy leading to the act. The argument
was listened to by a crowded court room.

Impossible to Ascertain the Exact Loss of
Life and Property.
ATCHIsoN, KAN, April 12-The reports
concerning the destruction of life and
property caused by the great prairie fire
that swept over the eastern portion of Nor
ton and Graham counties, Saturday last,
are yet meagre and unsatisfactory, but
heart. The fire started near Nicademus,
in Graham county. The wind, which was
blowing forty miles an hour, carried the
flames over and through the dry grass at a
frightful speed. The general destruction
OF property commenced near Roscoe, in
Graham county. Here the fire spread over
the country fully for two and a half
miles in width, and the wind carried the
flames north, which were constantly spread
ing, until they were seYen miles wide.
where they crossed the north fork
OF Salmon river, three miles north of
Dinsmore. Few houses were burned
and every barn with its stack of hay and
cribs of grain was burned, leaving hun
dreds of families almost destitute. 1t is a
pitiful sight to pass over the burned dis
trict and see thousands of burned chickens
and turkeys and hundreds of hogs with
occasional horses and numerous cattle.
Almost every farmer lost from so to 500
bushels of corn besides small grain. It Is
definitely known that from Is to Is lives
were lost in two counties, but the names
have not been learned. Four children per-
ishen in one family. How far the fire ex-
tended north of Solomon is not known, but
it must have reached long distance. At
the same time another fire swept down the
south fork of Solomon, on to point
near Mill Break, sweeping every
thing in its path and burning
six persons to death-father, mother and
four children-and large number of cat
tie. horses, hogs and poultry. In one in
stance woman prematurely gave birth to
a child. When the fire was discovered ap-
preaching, her husband took her in his
arms and started for the ploughed ground,
but before he reached it the wOman's
clothing was on fire. He succeeded in put
ting it out and saved her life. The babe
was less than an hour old and with other
members of the family was saved, but the
house and other property on the farm were
destroyed. Hundreds of narrow escapes
could be related.

Smuggling Cigars.

NEW YORK, April 12.-The custom house
authorities are making desperate effort
to break up the extensive business done in
smuggling cigars to the steamers running
to Cuba and West Indian ports. To-day
an extensive seizure of cigars was made.
AS soon as the steamer Santiago arrived in
port everything on the vessel was sealed
up by tile custom house officers, who then
went through the ship and found con-
cealed in various parts 1859 cigars and rs
bundles of cigarettes. .-
